Data Privacy Day 2021 : Five ways to embrace privacy into your business
Welcome to Data Privacy Day 2021!
This year we are excited to announce that we are participating as a #PrivacyAware Champion for DPD21 through the National Cyber Security Alliance. This means that on this significant day we are in partnership with hundreds of other organisations and businesses to share a unified message that empowers individuals to “Own Your Privacy” and for organisations to “Respect Privacy.”
"Last year dawned a new era in the way many businesses operate from a traditional office work setting to a remote working from home environment for employees. This now means it’s more important than ever for your employees to understand how to take ownership of their privacy when working online."
As a Data Privacy Day #PrivacyAware Champion we would like to provide some practical tips and share examples of how the Matomo team helps employees be privacy aware.
Five ways to embrace privacy into your business
1. Create a privacy aware culture within your business
- Get leadership involved.
- Appoint privacy ambassadors within your team.
- Create a privacy awareness campaign where you educate employees on your company privacy policy.
- Share messages about privacy around the office/or in meetings online, on internal message boards, in company newsletters, or emails.
- Teach new employees their role in your privacy culture and reinforce throughout their career.
2. Organise privacy awareness training for your employees
- Invite outside speakers to talk to employees about why privacy matters.
- Engage staff by asking them to consider how privacy and data security applies to the work they do on a daily basis.
- Encourage employees to complete online courses to gain a better understanding of how to avoid privacy risks.
3. Help employees manage their individual privacy
- Better security and privacy behaviours at home will translate to better security and privacy practices at work.
- Teach employees how to update their privacy and security settings on personal accounts.
- Use NCSA’s privacy settings page to help them get started
4. Add privacy to the employee’s toolbox
- Give your employees actual tools they can use to improve their privacy, such as company-branded camera covers or privacy screens for their devices, or virtual private networks (VPNs) to secure their connections.
5. Join Matomo and we’ll be your web analytics experts
- At Matomo, ensuring our users and customers that their privacy is protected is not only a core component of the work we do, it’s why we do what we do! Find out how.

Announcing Matomo 4 : More security, privacy and better performance
The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here … Matomo Analytics 4 has launched!! We’re incredibly grateful for all community members and contributors who’ve helped with improvements, and our awesome team for all the fixes.
We can’t wait for you to gain greater security, privacy protection, and be able to boost your website performance. Now who’s ready?
Minimise your business’ web data security risk
We’ve made Matomo even more secure to meet our users’ ever increasing security needs. Matomo 4 has certainly delivered on these expectations with a wide range of security enhancements and fixes across the platform:
- Support for app specific API tokens. [#6559]
- API tokens and session ids are now stored hashed in the database which means if someone can access your database they wouldn’t be able to get the actual token.
- A more secure host validation. [#16169]
- By default, you no longer can embed widgets through tokens with higher privileges. [#16264]
- Plenty of other minor security fixes.
More protection of your customer’s personal data
Matomo 4 ensures you’re compliant with data privacy laws and provides you with more ways to keep your customer’s personal data private, such as:
- The ability to automatically anonymise the referrer to avoid tracking personal data by accident. [#15426]
- The option to enforce the disabling of cookies. [#16258]
- Possibility in JavaScript tracker to turn cookies on and off at any time. [#13056]
- The option to not store any IP address at all. [#16377]
- Easily disable visits log and visitor profile feature if needed for privacy compliance [#16259]
- New segment to separate visitors who gave consent vs visitors who didn’t give consent. [#16192]
Matomo now offers PHP 8 support to users. Want to know more? Get a detailed list of over 300 fixes and improvements in the Matomo 4 changelog.
Increased conversion rates with a focus on page performance
Our new Page Performance feature in Matomo 4 can help you increase conversion rates by showing you exactly how fast or slow your website is going, and WHY. An Akamai Online Retail Study in 2017 found that a 100-millisecond delay in website load time could underperform website conversion rates by up to 7%.
By using this new feature you can quickly identify slow pages and fix page speed issues as soon as they arise, meaning you never miss out on those valuable new sales opportunities.
Improve your Google search rankings in 2021
According to moz.com, Google’s bringing in a new ranking factor into their algorithm named Core Web Vitals, which will place greater emphasis on load speed (favouring websites that load faster). This means the slower your page loads, the worse it will rank in Google. With Matomo’s new feature, you’ll be able to optimise your pages to rank better according to the Core Web Vitals ranking factor.

Please note: It may take a while for you to receive a notice to update to Matomo 4.

Offline tracking in Matomo JavaScript Tracker – We need your feedback
As part of our Matomo 4 release we are working on adding support for offline tracking using service workers (SW) and IndexedDB. An early version of this new feature is now available as part of our latest Matomo 4 beta and we now need your feedback to fix any outstanding issues.
How does it work behind the scenes?
- The service worker caches the Matomo JavaScript tracker so if a user becomes offline on subsequent requests the JS tracker will be still loaded.
- If a user is offline, any tracking request will be put into the local IndexedDB.
- Once the user becomes online, all requests from the IndexedDB will be retried.
How do I integrate offline tracking into my website or app?
Follow the steps in our FAQ on how to set up offline tracking.
We need your feedback
We’d love to hear your feedback if this new feature is working for you or not. Simply leave a comment on the offline tracking issue and let us know if it worked for you, if something didn’t work, whether you miss any options or any other kind of feedback.
Are you a service worker or IndexedDB pro? We’d love if you could help us review our implementation. You can check out the code in the offline tracking pull request. We appreciate any feedback to help us improve this feature!
Thank you for your help!
